A Review Of The Scientific Incentive Model At The Princeton Institute Of Advanced Studies

In the 1930s, American industrialist Bamberger brother and sister and educator Flexner together built the world-famous Insititute for Advanced Study. Insititute for Advanced Study become a sacred place of scientific research when it set up. Why it can attract first-class scientists? What's its science-incentive mode? These constitute the origin of this article research. To explore the success of the Insititute for Advanced Study'reason and experience, in this paper, the text around the "cause or origin", "content",and "value and revelation"of Insititute for Advanced Study'science-incentive model discussing.First, the paper introduces the Insititute for Advanced Study's establish and it is the "cause or origin" of Insititute for Advanced Study's science-incentive mode. Here we introduce Insititute for Advanced Study's donors Bamberger brother and sister's process of getting rich and planning of return society. And we introduce Insititute for Advanced Study's builder Flexner's life experience and Bamberger brother and sister and Flexner's cooperation. We can say that Insititute for Advanced Study is the product of the education of Flexner's mature thought. It set up the background is:rapid expansion of the German Nazi party, many European scholars fled to the United States; At that time, it was also the world science activities center changed hands "by the German moved to the United States". The institute recruit the first scientist is the masters of science Albert Einstein. With the "golden signboard"of "physics the pope" the institute also recruit many first-class science talents.Second, the paper introduces the "content" of Insititute for Advanced Study's science-incentive mode. Here we from three aspects introduce Insititute for Advanced Study's the reason of scientific research idea and its pursuit; management and operation; scientists'state of work and life. We say the characteristics of Insititute for Advanced Study's science-incentive mode is:create the first-class academic environment, is committed to making science masters research "pure theory or basic theory of science", because it believes that "useless knowledge perhaps more useful". Insititute for Advanced Study gave scientists study of absolute freedom, and a high salary, its administrative management for the purpose of service scientists, its administrative personnel humbly to provide service for scholars, scientists here were get extremely high courtesy and respect. Insititute for Advanced Study no students, also do not award degrees, the institute's researchers composed by a handful of tenured professor and many visiting scholars, the Insititute for Advanced Study's surface look is most irregular, it don't like a research institute, while it is! But it doesn't matter, because it care the essence of things rather than on the surface of. In Insititute for Advanced Study, scientists have no necessary the scientific research task, they are free to study all the questions, we can say that they have no responsibility, no pressure, there is only opportunity. In a word, the Insititute for Advanced Study put the concept of "people-oriented" to an extreme, this is because, talent is the most important and the most critical factors in the scientific research.Futhermore, the paper introduces the "value and revelation" of Insititute for Advanced Study's science-incentive mode. Insititute for Advanced Study's science-incentive mode has an important value, it can give our country "develop science" to a lot of beneficial enlightenment. From the point of its "cause or origin", the institute make good use of donations and educator, it also suitable to the scientists, in short, we can say it make the money and talent put the right place. From the perspective of the "content" of it, the Insititute for Advanced Study pursuit of excellence:the institute based on long-term, attaches great importance to the "pure theory or basic theory" research, pay more attention to the quality of the"science products", Insititute for Advanced Study, respecting the rule of scientific research:the Insititute for Advanced Study's"administration" and "scientific research" has clear responsibilities, and service and management of the institute are very "human". In short, the Insititute for Advanced Study captures the scientific research's the most important and the most essential thing.At the end of the paper, it introduces the Insititute for Advanced Study's science-incentive mode possible existing some "limitations" in epilogue. For example, it recruits the science masters and some of them have passed his best academic creative period, another example, the "no pressure" may be unfavorable to scientists for scientific creation. So, the institute's academic investment may be a "academic risk investment". Science masters before joining the institute, however, has made certain achievements, enough to prove that he has excellent scientific talent, and "no pressure" not only conforms to the human nature, and conform to the regular of academic research.The more science frontiers, the more risky, but such research can make the greater the likelihood of first-class scientific achievements. The institute is willing to pay for the "possibility", it has a spirit transcendence. The country's basic scientific research developed, its applied science are also in the top in the world. Insititute for Advanced Study and its science-incentive mode for "No use is of great use, non-utilitarian perhaps more utilitarian". So, it worth we learn.
